Children of Lt. John Stevens and first wife Hannah Barnard: Joshua, b. 17 Jul 1670, drowned in Merrimac River 23 Mar 1712, m. 22 Dec 1696 Mary Frye.
[Note: Joshua is labelled "widr." in the marriage record to Mary, but this source makes no mention of a first marriage, and all the heirs come from the marriage to Mary. This is by the same author as Barker Family of Andover and contains the assertion about Mary remarrying Stephen Barker, with no evidence. See Family talk:Stephen Barker and Mary Unknown (1) for a discussion of that issue.]
